| Obverse description | Portuguese Royal Arms displayed within a crowned shield, quartered with castles and spheres (armillary spheres), representing the coat of arms of Portugal. The initial letters 'G' and 'A' appear in the field to the right of the shield, likely denoting the governor or mint authority. The design is characteristic of Portuguese colonial hammered coinage of the mid-17th century. |
